Uterine artery embolization with trisacryl gelatin microspheres in women treated for leiomyomas: a clinicopathologic analysis of alterations in gynecologic surgical specimens.

To characterize the histologic range of alterations due to uterine artery embolization with trisacryl gelatin microspheres in gynecologic specimens containing leiomyomas in detail, we report our clinicopathologic experience with 26 cases (longest postuterine artery embolization interval, 1.9 yr). Microspheres were observed in 85% of cases and could be seen up to 1.

Ectopic thymoma of the chest wall.

A case of ectopic thymoma arising from the chest wall is reported. A chest wall tumour involving the third and fourth ribs and extending extrapleurally and subpectorally was resected following a histopathological diagnosis of hemangioendothelioma obtained at initial incision biopsy. Pathological examination of the excised mass, revealed appearances consistent with a malignant thymoma.

Utero-ovarian anastomosis: histopathologic correlation after uterine artery embolization with or without ovarian artery embolization.

Purpose: To study utero-ovarian anastomosis at angiography and its histologic effect on patients who were treated with uterine artery embolization (UAE) with or without ovarian artery embolization (OAE) for symptomatic uterine leiomyomata.

Materials And Methods: Four hundred patients (mean age, 43.6 years +/- 6.
